Website:

Stephen is a native Virginian who works in finance and accounting and is a licensed CPA in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Ever since he was a little boy, Stephen was fascinated by airplanes and enjoyed art. After graduating college, Stephen joined the Marine Corps and was commissioned a 2ndLt.  The Marines gave him the opportunity to become a Marine aviator, and in November of 1998, Stephen earned his wings of gold and went on to fly CH-46E helicopters.  After leaving the Marine Corps, Stephen began focusing his efforts on developing his art, and eventually became a member of the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA). Stephen also enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes. He is a Fellow of the ASAA, member of the American Society of Marine Artists, and contributing member of the Coast Guard Art Program.  


Stephen's works can be seen in squadron spaces, private collections, the collection of the National Naval Aviation Museum, and in the United States Capitol Building.  


Stephen’s work alternates between aviation and landscape/seascape and figurative paintings. Aviation subjects allow him to create dynamic compositions with geometric forms and line, while non-aviation subjects offer a chance to work with more organic forms and a broader palette of visual textures.  


Stephen tries to strike a balance between technical, visual, emotional, and, when applicable, accuracy.  By balancing all of these elements, the necessary information can be presented to fully describe a place or event, while at the same time infusing a painting with the life and emotion to give the viewer a more visceral experience.   


A majority of Stephen’s work is created in oils, and he finds that medium to best express himself using techniques of impressionistic realism.
